Forced inducted kudo's Posts: 9034 (07/01/08 03:46 AM) GTP World Owner/Administrator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Got some info for you guys on the L26 pistons I got it from a guy who is building a L26 as we speak for his car and is the one everyone is pointing me to for getting info and has a huge thread for it with a sh!t load of pics in it. Here is what he said about the L26 stuff................................ The L36/L26 has higher compression than L67/L32 for one reason only: because the piston has a shallower dish. The crank, bore and stroke are identical. The connecting rods are longer on L36/L26, but that is because the connection point to the conn rod is lower down the bore on the L67/L32 (to accomodate the deeper dish, I suppose). The piston is nominal 3.8" diameter. All 3800 Series 2/3 are negative deck, with the piston protruding about 0.025" at TDC. These are the only dimensions I can give you (unless you want be to estimate the dish volume), because I am not removing the rotating assembly from this block. Hope that clears up a little bit of what you wanting to know. Troy Now driving....1998 Silvermist GTP with 155,000 miles!

Most of the guys on OQCGP just built up L36 motors. Cheaper to buy and you get more power with the same mods as when you mod an L67. You can't have any knock though. The NA motors cannot tolerate knock nearly as well as the blown motors. Basically, you can take an L26 and an L32 put the same mods in each and the L26 will be quicker. The L32 will be stronger and more reliable, but at the expense of slightly less output. HTH. I didn't read through all 6 pages of posts, but that is generally why guys mod the NA motor.
